These are some of the last minute Christmas decorations I made for my tree. I actually made them on Christmas Eve. I waited to put most of the glass ornaments on until the last minute so that Xander (my one year old) wouldn’t get a hold of them.
They were really easy to make I just used the rub-on’s on the clear glass balls. I found that the smaller ones and the long ones were a lot easier to do. I did a couple of square sayings and they were difficult to get on without overlapping.
If you’ve never tried cracked glass before then you really need to try this fun technique. It’s really simple.
Here is a sample of the card I made using this fun technique. I will try to get pictures posted of the actual steps a little later.

I wanted to share with you some fun holiday cards I’ve made and some that I have receive. I have just a couple here. You can click here to see all of them.
I was going through some of my Holiday Decorations and discovered these two great frames I made last year. I thought I would share them with you today since the background was so simple to make. I just used the Versa Mark with our Bold Snowflakes Jumbo Wheel. 
I know it’s really hard to see but it looks great in person. I’ve added a close up shot so hopfully you will be able to see the effect. The are really fun to put out for the holidays. 
I really like the big one because I can change out the picture when I want to.
Here is a fun idea to put your Big Shot to good use. I love to let the kids make little gifts for their friends at Christmas time. This year I was so excited because I knew the Big Shot would make it so easy and very cost effective. 
My boys had fun creating these cute Christmas gifts for their friends. Here are a few pictures.
The basic idea is really easy all you need is 1/4 sheet of paper plus some scraps for the punches. Then you need the little bags and some ribbon.
We used the Stampin’ Up! Exclusive Top Note Die to cut out the toppers then scored them the short way and folded them in 1/2.
We filled the little bags with treats and stapled them to the back of the topper. Then I tied the ribbon around it. We used the scallop punch, the 1 3/8 Circle Punch and the 1 1/4 Circle Punch to create our little tags. 
The boys each choose 2 favorites from the Hostess set “Deer Friends” and colored the stamps to get the great colors. We used just one Stampin’ Dimensional on the bottoms so that you could slip the ribbon off the top and get to the treats. 
The boys had a lot of fun making them and especially loved using the big shot. It was a fun evening. Sorry it was so late getting this post up but we had to finish all of our projects.
I think we made about 50 in about 2 hours. Hope you enjoyed this and have fun making your own treat bags.
This is the technique my club member learned last week. You will be able to see more samples in the club page. I got this technique from Laura Fredrickson you can see her complete tutorial by clicking here. I had a lot of fun with and thought it was a great technique. I actually found it months ago and have been waiting for Christmas to show it. The basic technique is to use your punches to make a template then roll your wheel over the template so you only get part of your images. Then you can trace around them or use sponge daubers to fill them in. If you want to see the step by step instructions you can check out Laura’s site. Here is just one of the fun cards we made. Be sure to check out the other card and Scrapbook pages under clubs.
